My chickens come out in all weather. When it's raining hard there are a few shelters here and there, and of course their big coop and enclosure. They'll duck inside until the rain stops and then come out to splash around in the puddles. Snow doesn't stop them either.
Trying to keep water accessible is my challenge. I have one heated waterer in the coop, but they don't go in there during the day except to lay. The others I switch out as needed. I keep a few thawed and ready in the shed.
